This book aims to provide trainees and newly qualified solicitors with a first aid kit for dealing with the most common aspects of work in a busy family department, including domestic violence, private children matters, ancillary relief applications and cohabitation disputes. The emphasis is on skills such as interviewing, negotiation, drafting and case preparation, providing the inexperienced practitioner with an informative guide to areas often omitted from other works. Each section takes the reader through particular applications step by step, examining what really happens in practice.
